Fumbling about.
Wow! That’s the highest price I’ve seen yet for a Type M Adjustable. You got one for a good price. I mean once paired with the Twin blade it will out shave a lot of Razors costing a whole lot more and you’ll get an incredible smooth efficient irritation free shave from it.
Congrats on the M and keep us updated once you take it for a spin.
There have been plenty sold for more than $30. Trust me on this. I have two of them. Mine are both extremely nice though. There are also some offered at prices far beyond what I'd even think of paying, and they're not, as I look at them carefully, any nicer than mine.
This one (the one being discussed, and in the photo above) looks pretty good to me, too. One feature I like to see, and see very clearly in this photo, is its very clear and sharp numbers and dots between the numbers on the dial. I don't know what has been done to the razor since it was purchased but it looks to me like it might polish up a bit with some Flitz, link. Not saying it doesn't look good, because it does, but I think it could look even better.
Believe me, I have razors I wish were as nice as this one.
My Schick adjustable razors were purchased to shave with. I am not a serious collector, but I like the razors I use to look like they're going to work properly and hold up.
Another thing I always look for, unless the razor is one I know extremely well, and the prices are very low, is a seller offering returns. If they don't, I look to see if they say something like "mechanically sound," because then eBay will make sure they back up what they say.
I bought one razor, said to be a Fatboy, which turned out to be a Slim. I don't think the vendor was dishonest, but merely ignorant. Ebay got me my money back right away, and the vendor has yet to send me a shipping label. According to my conversation with eBay, this is the vendor's responsibility (I don't even know where the vendor is located as I couldn't read their handwritten return label; they are not in the US and probably have little English if any, not that I speak Hungarian or whatever + the shipping was very, very high). Ebay says I can keep the razor, but I don't want it, and will eventually PIF it.
Happy shaves,
Jim
